Listen Later

#14 episode I will start with a  description from Gerard Fromm's, PhD, book "Travelling Through Time; How Trauma Plays Itself in Families, Organizations and Society": 'Sometimes that learning has to do with trauma: the way in which what can’t be emotionally contained, thought about or spoken in one part of a system is passed along, with disorganizing, sometimes heartbreaking consequences to another'.

Gerard Fromm, Ph.D., is a psychologist-psychoanalyst who spent his clinical career at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. He is a Distinguished Faculty member and former director of the Erikson Institute, a Fellow of the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis, a Distinguished Member and past president of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations, a founding partner of College Health and Counseling Services Consulting, and the current president of the International Dialogue Initiative, which works to bring a psychological understanding to societal conflict. He currently maintains an organizational and clinical consulting practice. Through the IDI, he has designed and led a number of training workshops and case conferences on Large Group Identity and Societal Conflict. His books include Taking the Transference, Reaching toward Dreams: Clinical Studies in the Intermediate Area and, most recently, Traveling through Time: How Trauma Plays Itself out in Families, Organizations and Society. With Vamik Volkan and Regine Scholz, he is the editor of We Don’t Speak of Fear: Large Group Identity, Societal Conflict and Collective Trauma, to be published in February, 2023, by Phoenix Publishing House.
